The Pilgrims suffered persecution primarily because they sought religious freedom and rejected the practices of the Church of England, which they believed were too similar to Catholicism. Their separatist beliefs led to conflict with both religious and political authorities, resulting in harassment, imprisonment, and social ostracism. Seeking a place where they could worship freely, they eventually decided to leave England and establish a new settlement in America.
